Best Bronze Sculpture at Museum of Modern Art Nyc

  • MoMA, Floor 2

Looking back at the first showing of Constantin Brancusi'southward work (1876–1957) in the United States, in the 1913 Armory Show, one writer reflected that sculptures on view were "agonizing, so disturbing indeed that they completely altered the mental attitude of a great many New Yorkers towards a whole branch of art." Indeed, Brancusi's beguilingly simple forms looked like nix else, then or since.

Rather than modeling clay like his peers, Brancusi carved his work directly from wood or stone, or cast it in bronze. Simultaneously, he rejected realism, preferring that his sculptures evoke rather than resemble the subjects named in their titles. Brancusi fabricated bases for many of his sculptures, themselves complex constructions that became part of the piece of work. He often moved works from base to base, or placed them directly on the floor of his studio, and then that they lived in the world alongside ordinary objects, and among people.

Born in rural Romania, Brancusi moved to Paris in 1904, where he established his studio and rapidly immersed himself in avant-garde art circles. In his adopted urban center, he embraced an experimental modern spirit, including an interest in modernistic machines and popular civilisation. With his friend Homo Ray, he made films that captured his life in the studio—working with his materials and muses, activating his artworks through move and recombination, and revealing his sources of inspiration such every bit animals at play, light in nature, and dance. Yet until his expiry he proudly presented himself as an outsider—cultivating his image as a peasant, with a long bristles, work shirt, and sandals. The contradiction too informs his art making, which was dependent on ancient techniques as much as contemporary technologies.

This exhibition celebrates MoMA'south extraordinary holdings—xi sculptures by Brancusi volition be shown together for the starting time time, aslope drawings, photographs, and films. A selection of never-before-seen archival materials shed lite on his relationships with friends, sitters, and patrons, including this Museum. What emerges is a rich portrait of an artist whose risk-taking and inventive approach to form changed the class of the art that followed.

Brancusi collected records with music of many kinds. The playlist below, created past curators Paulina Pobocha and Mia Matthias, features selections from his extensive collection.

Organized past Paulina Pobocha, Associate Curator, with Mia Matthias, Curatorial Beau, Department of Painting and Sculpture.

The exhibition is made possible by Monique M. Schoen Warshaw.
